Teacup and Saucer Tutorial

My Teacup and Saucer Favour Box is one of my most popular templates and perfectly complements my bestselling Teapot Favour Box.

The little teacup can be filled with delicious treats and makes an ideal gift for any tea-lover! Perfect for birthday parties, wedding favours, Mother's day gifts, tea parties and so much more!

24oz Paper Teacup

Recently, I was asked if it was possible to create a large, 24oz teacup using my Teacup and Saucer favour box template. Not a problem, I replied, and to prove it, here's one that I made!

Ok, so I admit it doesn't look very interesting here, having been made entirely out of plain white cardstock, but it provided me with an enticing blank canvas to build upon ... 

And just look at it now!

Miniature Tea Set

So, I challenged myself to see just how small I could make a paper teapot and teacup using my templates ... and this is the result!

Aren't they cute?

I scaled the teapot template down to approximately 11% and the teacup template to approximately 7% of the original size.

Yes, they were extremely fiddly to make, but if you fancy making one yourself, or if you think you can make one even smaller, then just remember, the smaller the size of the template, the thinner the paper or card you will need to use.

You can find the PDF templates for these items, and more, on my Etsy shop.

Happy crafting!

Teapot Box Tutorial

My latest video tutorial gives step-by-step instructions on how to assemble my teapot favour box.

In the video, I recreate this red teapot using the template which can be found in my Etsy shop. I really hope you enjoy the video and are inspired to create your own little teapot favour boxes.

Happy crafting!

Teacup Template

To complement my Teapot Treats gift boxes, my matching teacup and saucer template is now available as a PDF download.

The template is designed to fit on A4 (but can be re-sized) which will make a teacup approximately 4.7 x 8 x 11cm. It has clear instructions (in English) and can be purchased through my Etsy shop.

To make one of your own, you will need:

• PDF template
• Patterened or coloured cardstock (200-250gsm recommended)
• Craft knife / scissors
• Scoring tool
• Ruler
• Craft glue / PVA
• Embellishments (optional)

To add detail to these teacups, I also added a light touch of gold to the edges of the cup, handle and saucer.

For those of you who will soon be hard at work, crafting your own little tea sets, I would love to display some of your wonderful creations here!

Happy crafting!

Steampunk Tea Set

At last! Here it is. My matching teacup and saucer to complement my latest steampunk teapot.

I am thrilled with how this set has turned out!

The saucer has a small doily on it, delicately matching the top of the teapot lid. 

The perfect unique gift for any tea-lover.
